The power switch allows you to power on the chassis or place it in standby
mode. Push the power switch to the On (recessed) position (if not already
on). Observe that all fans become operational and the power switch LED is
a steady green.
This section contains general instructions for installing a PXI controller in
the PXI-1044 chassis. Refer to your PXI controller user manual for specific
instructions and cautions. Complete the following steps to install a
controller.
1. Plug in the PXI chassis before installing the controller. The power cord
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the controller. Make sure the chassis power switch is in the Off
(Standby) position.
2. Install the controller into the system controller slot (slot 1, indicated by
the red card guides) by first placing the controller edges into the front
controller guides (top and bottom). Slide the controller to the rear of
the chassis (making sure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed
down as shown in Figure 2-2).
